Easter Weekend

This was our first Easter at our home.  It was a little weird and quiet, but very nice!  Jared had Friday off and we basically spent the whole 3 days just hanging out and being together as a family.  Friday was opening day for the zoo, and for Christmas, we got a family pass.  So, we went...as a family!  It was nice and not too crowded.

They have made some improvements over the winter!

And Saturday was just spent playing and hanging out together.  Ethan sang at the Easter service on Saturday night.  It was his singing debut and we had practiced a lot.  He knew the songs and the motions that went with them.  But...stage fright got the best of him and he stood up there looking terrified.  Cute, but terrified :).  Grandma Karen made the trip up to see Ethan sing and have dinner.  It was great seeing her, and she brought Easter gifts for the kiddos...which they appreciated very much!

Can you say...Deer in Headlights?!?

But look how cute!

Since we went to church on Saturday night, we had all day Sunday at home (which was also weird).  Our "Easter Dinner" was breakfast.  I made a breakfast casserole (first time for that), and it turned out pretty tasty!  The rest of the day was mostly spent outside doing yard work and playing.

Smiley girl!

We trust that your Easter was wonderful and full of praising the RISEN Lord!
